JOHN CAGE ~







J O H N     C A G E

L E T T E R S





thank you Laura Kuhn
Wesleyan Press
— however, one quibble
for a book glowing all-around
why in the world choose
a somewhat weary and tolerating-this-moment
photograph of John Cage
for the dust jacket front cover
when he was, of all sixties icons,
black mountain alumni
the one with the most beatific
and graceful smile;
couldn't the book designers find a photograph
available and affordable
where the beaming one
was beaming?

Otherwise, the letters provide
a whole life to behold
